Wikipedia Assignment
1. Identify one Wikipedia entry that has undergone substantial revision. The topic can be any one specific page on the site, though make sure it has had a fair amount of discussion and revision history. A stub won't generate much useful information
2. Review the process by which the entry was written and the debates, which have surrounded its revision. This is best done by separating out the Talk Page, Revision History, and History of the Talk Page itself.
3. Finally, after reviewing and analyzing these elements, prepare a group presentation on what you've learned about the process by which entries on Wikipedia are generated.
4. Your central thesis should address these questions:
· How does the discussion and debate around the entry draw on the core principles of the Wikipedia community?
· Are there patterns driving the revisions?
· What concepts are discussed; which are debated; which are contested?
